I wished I could get excited

I dont like the wood shape at all. Look at that front taper ,I think it was done with an axe.The monte carlo line goes on forever as if a router ran off .Dont like that checkering either. I bet the specs are terrific but why cant they have a rounded sleeker shaped wood .Harsh ugly trigger guard shape.Cant believe they didnt get rid of those transverse scope stop grooves.Does it really say Feinwerkbau in white on the stock!

I'm willing

to withhold judgment on the stock til I can hold one. I bet it's comfortable. As to the horizontal scope stop grooves, they are much better aesthetically than two or three vertical holes, especially when exposed. I had a prewar Walther Model 1 with a detachable scope which used the horizontal scope stop. It looked fine without the scope. If you can't manage to cover up the vertical stop holes, they look like plain bad design, whereas the horizontal ones look like a flourish.

yours is a very nice stock. I'm not crazy about the stock on the new FWB, but it might look better in person. Really more interested in the mechanical aspects of the new gun. You can always replace a stock if you like the gun otherwise. I have a restocked 124 myself. Not quite as pretty wood as yours.

Well I hope they improved the trigger and the detente

mechanism a little stronger. I personally dont need so much power than the originals already have.The FWB 127D in the picture is moving a 22cal JSB Express 14.3gr pellet at 685 fps (almost 15ft/lbs).Thats like a Benjamin 342 pumped up to 10 times . I was hitting every shotgun hull at the range out to 40 yards and the scope is low powered with no mildots for holdover. I bet I could reach out past 50 yards if I had to. I personally like the low and mid powered airguns.Any PCPer try to best me I just take out my 22 mag and blow them away.LOL! By the way your little Winchester 427 is so smooth shooting and moving JSb RS 13.4gr pellets at 520fps. I think the gun is still breaking in from 1968!! RWS Hobbys 11.9gr were moving at 550fps .I bet the gun weighs no more than 5 1/2-6 lbs.

I just emailed the company...nt

Very elegant looking rifle...need more info nt

Here are my specs:
